I am sad to say that Williams Sound is discontinuing the Motiva Personal FM System. This is my favorite FM system!

In fact, a recent experience reminded me of how helpful it can be in a classroom or workshop. I am currently taking an American Sign Language (ASL) class at a local junior college. Besides loving ASL, I enjoy the fact that I usually don’t have to worry about hearing in the classroom! However, the teacher isn’t deaf and sometimes we have class discussions about Deaf culture. Whenever we do, I bring some sort of listening device.

Last week I was so frustrated that I did NOT bring my Motiva system! The device I brought allowed me to hear the teacher perfectly! But……..I couldn’t hear any of the questions or comments from the students! One of the things I like about the Motiva is that it has a microphone on the receiver. So, I can hear the teacher wearing the transmitter (who could be over 100 feet away!) AND I can also listen to the students sitting relatively nearby by using the microphone on the receiver. In a quiet room with only one person speaking, the microphone on the receiver will amplify voices of people sitting 12 – 15 feet away.

If you would like to purchase the Motiva, I suggest doing it ASAP! It will be available for a few months so buy yourself or a loved one a very useful holiday gift! You can buy it with a charger or without the charger.
